Pros

Largest publicly traded insurer in the world. Chubb name is highly regarded. Financially solid. Wide range of product offerings in 54 countries.

Cons

Culture is changing rapidly. Tenure and experience do not seem to be appreciated; practically scoffed and laughed at by senior managers. Afraid work/life balance will be history, family life won't matter, the nicest people will not survive.

Pros

Business side is smart and is superb at their product

Cons

The IT organization struggles with structural challenges that impact efficiency. The offshore-heavy model in India means US-based employees regularly work early hours to stay aligned, which is unsustainable long-term. The workforce is heavily weighted toward a high-headcount service model rather than investing in strong engineering talent — you need fewer, better engineers, not more bodies. Central tech functions are attempting to build platforms, but without a clear shared understanding of what a platform actually means, these initiatives remain incomplete. The result is heavy manual workarounds propping up half-finished solutions. Strategic direction shifts frequently, and ongoing layoff announcements make it difficult to plan or build momentum.
